Corrugated Flat Mounting Machine Flatmount
The Flatmount is a premier flat flexo plate mounting machine for mounting on mylars. Mounting with the Flatmount is very fast and, optimizing efficiency while simultaneously reducing costs. Flat mounting is a growing trend in corrugated postprint, and with Flatmount's patented solutions you can obtain rapid and precise mounting.
- 30% faster than a round mounter
- Automatic HD cameras for an accurate mounting
- Quick and easy mounting
- Easy job creation
- Advanced options for a smooth and faster workflow
Flatmount's features
1
Overlay System (patented)
Once the first plate is on the right position, a snapshot can be taken and used semi-transparently for the next plates.
2
HD Ethernet cameras
Ultra high definition cameras moving to the exact position of the mounting marks.
3
Camera encoders and keypad
The cameras can be controlled by encoders for quick adjustments. The operator can insert commands through the touchpad.
4
Digital calibration of camera beam
The camera images are used in a calibration procedure to create a lookup table to digitally ‘straighten’ any deviations in the camera beam, down to 10 μm over the entire width of the camera beam/sleeve
5
Quality report
The machine takes snapshots of the mounting marks and creates a PDF report
6
Windows 10
Windows 10 icon-based AV Flexologic mounting software for easy job creation and storage. The user interface is optimized to offer the best operator experience.
7
DOAL lights
Latest technology DOAL lights for optimal target recognition.
8
Laser pointers
Indicators of where the mounting marks are located for placing easily the plates.

Flatmount options
Pressure roller
The pressure roller has become a standard feature in AV Flexologic flexo plate mounting machines over recent years. The roller is used to apply the plates evenly over the carrier such as a sleeve, cylinder or Mylar. The use of the pressure roller eliminates the typical 'hand-rolling'. The feature saves time and avoids un-ergonomic working procedures.
Image Recognition
Specialized software developed by AV Flexologic can 'recognize' the mounting marks on the printing plates which are used as the references for the mounting process. The ability to measure the positions not only during mounting, but also after plates have been mounted provides endless possibilities to enhance a flexo printing production workflow.
Quality Report
The image recognition system measures the exact positions of the mounting marks and thus how accurately the printing plate is fixed on the sleeve. After mounting, the system will automatically check the precision of the mounting process and a PDF is automatically created.
Inkjet - Digital Printing Technology
The revolutionary Inkjet technology is used to apply individual print job information directly onto the plate shim/mylar at the point of mounting, rather than having to manually label each one on-site. This saves time and removes the need for labeling consumables, which are prone to damage, for print operators. The new automated shim printing solution avoids human error, improves standardization of shim information for ease of plate identification, and eliminates duplication of information.
Clamping system and vacuum table
The clamping system for the mylar and the vacuum table are used to fixate the mylar perfectly to the table.
VPP - Virtual Proof Print
The ground-breaking technology of the VPP offers a digital printing proof by scanning each plate after mounting. The extra camera provides a digital visualization of the image of the plate with a 5K resolution. After all the plates are mounted and scanned, there is a clear image of the final result that can be compared to the PDF file. The VPP scan can be exported as a PDF file and be used as proof of the mounting accuracy.

Success stories
ZDUE Italy invests in AV Flexologic's new technology
ZDUE trusted AV Flexologic's Flatmount and proceeded with installing multiple Flatmounts in their plant in Italy. The company experienced an increase in mounting capacity and prefers the Flatmount over the round mounters. The video illustrates how easy is to mount with Flatmount and how the options such as Image Recognition optimize their workflow.
Rudico Group
"We have invested in a new mounter because it can mount faster and the quality is very good. So, our customers are very happy with the printing plates. On the Flatmount, you can mount 30% faster than on a round machine. It is also possible to get a Quality Report for the customer. So, the customer can see for himself that everything is correct."
Contact Originators
"We have recently invested in two AV 3000 Flatmounts with Image Recognition Software, making this move set a new standard in the Corrugated sector.'
Kirk Group
Ben Dunlop, the CFO of Kirk Group stated: “We’ve just ordered our second Flatmount machine from AV Flexologic. These machines are easy to use and deliver mounting accuracy which is second to none. We know with the Flatmount that the job will be done right, first time every time, and our customer couldn’t be happier with the results.” Ben Dunlop, CFO
